Training
& promotional opportunities
|
|
•Continued commitment to training initiative
that began in October 2000
|
|
•continued deployment of new tools and
equipment
|
|
•staff must be provided with the resources
(tools, equipment, supplies) to perform optimally, along with training to
refresh knowledge and increase knowledge of emerging technologies
|
|
•utility engineers will receive daily
on-the-job training by partnering with journey-level staff.
|
|
Promotional
opportunities will be built into the program in two ways:
|
|
•temporary engineer vacancies will be
filled by detailing in the utility engineers
|
|
•a semi-annual placement testing and listing
process for utility engineer detail opportunities for groundskeepers and
custodians will be initiated
|
|
•Placement on the utility engineer detail
list will be by a combination of test score results plus continuing
education credits through the Facilities Department’s Engineer
Training Module Program.
|
|
•placement of groundskeepers and custodians
into the engineering program (and custodians into grounds positions) is
intended to extend career growth opportunities to all AFSCME members.
|
|
Operationally,
the cross training and promotional initiatives benefits the Department
by decreasing lost productivity due to temporary vacancies and
minimizing maintenance of a temporary pool of workers to custodian
positions.
